Definitions
- the present invention relates to internal combustion engines and more particularly to metallic gaskets designed to be interposed between the joining surfaces of a cylinder head and a cylinder block which form part of such an internal combustion engine, thereby preventing leakages of combustion gas, cooling water, lubricating oil, etc.
- Gaskets for this purpose are well known in the art. Of particular importance is the seal around the combustion chamber. Failure to provide sufficient sealing to the combustion chamber would cause a leakage of the combustion gas from within, resulting in a pressure drop.
- An extreme decrease in the width of a stop is tantamount to producing a local increase in pressure which may result in a dent on the surface of the cylinder block or cylinder head.
- stops of extremely limited width are difficult to hold in place.
- the present invention has resulted from our work in seeking to provide a metallic gasket which can be used in an internal combustion engine in a manner which ameliorates or overcomes the aforementioned difficulties.
- a metallic gasket for location between the cylinder head and cylinder block of an internal combustion engine, the gasket comprising a base place formed of resilient metal and provided with an array of beads adapted for sealing at least around the peripheral edge of an opening in the gasket corresponding to a combustion chamber of the cylinder block; characterised in that said base plate comprises two generally similar plates mounted back to back, the beads on one said plate differing in width from the corresponding beads on the other plate and the height of any said bead being 10% or less of the width of the said bead, and in that the plates are fixed together at flat segments thereof located radially closer to the centre of said opening than to the centre of a said bead extending circumferentially of said opening.
- a metallic gasket for location between the cylinder head and cylinder block of an internal combustion engine, the gasket comprising a base place formed of resilient metal and provided with an array of beads adapted for sealing at least around the peripheral edge of an opening in the gasket corresponding to a combustion chamber of the cylinder block; characterised in that said base plate comprises two generally similar plates mounted back to back, the beads on one said plate differing in width from the corresponding beads on the other plate and the height of any said bead being 10% or less of the width of the said bead, and in that the plates are fixed together at flat segments thereof located at positions closer to the edge of said opening than to the centre of the width of a bead extending circumferentially of said opening.
- the invention also extends to an internal combustion engine, comprising: a cylinder block defining at least one combustion chamber, a corresponding cylinder head, and a metallic gasket as defined in either of the two preceding paragraphs, located in sealing relation between the cylinder block and cylinder head and providing a seal between the cylinder block and cylinder head at least around the peripheral edge of the opening of the gasket corresponding to the said combustion chamber.
- a metallic gasket body generally indicated 10, includes two base plates 1-1 and 1-2, each made of resilient material, and has openings 2 located in association with combustion chamber bores of the cylinder block with which the gasket is to be used.
- the openings 2 are provided at their edge with a bead 3.
- Bolt holes 4 allow a bolt or screw to be inserted to fix the metallic gasket in place when it is built in to an engine.
- a hole 5 allows cooling water to circulate.
- An oil hole 6 is provided for oil.
- the two plates are laminated to make an integral whole and fixed at 7. Reference numerals 8 and 9 represent junction locations.
- the base plates 1-1 and 1-2 will be referred to as the first and second plates, respectively.
- the two plates in the region of their beads 3 are designed to have different spring constants.
- the first plate 1-1 has a spring constant effectively decreased by increasing the width of its bead
- the second plate 1-2 has a spring constant effectively increased by decreasing the width of its bead.
- the bead width on the second plate 1-2 is limited to 75% or less of that of the first plate 1-1 so as to increase its spring constant.
- Reference numerals 8 represent a joint position of the first and second plates, which is radially closer to the centre of the opening than the beads. Joint position 8 is also closer to the edge of the opening than to the centre of the width of the adjacent bead. Joint position 8 extends around the circumference of the opening.
- reference numeral 9 indicates a further joint position. As can be seen from Fig. 2, the joint positions 9 are of limited extent circumferentially. Each region for joint 9 is located at an inter-bolt position and is so designed to receive a low bolt-clamping pressure. Joint 9 is welded or bonded over a given length.
- the base plates may be formed of springy SUS 301 or SUS 304 with a thickness lying in the range of 0.20 to 0.30 mm.
- the first plate 1-1 will first deform due largely to its relatively decreased spring constant, but the second plate 1-2 is less likely to deform. Since both the plates are fixed to each other at the joint position 8 they are placed in a well-balanced condition.
- the bead on the first plate tends to deform first due to its decreased spring constant, but it is kept well-balanced with respect to the pressure applied to the engine by the combined spring force of the first with the second bead, since it is fixed at both sides between the cylinders and at both sides in the regions 9 to the second plate with its increased spring constant.
- the extent of deformation of any of the beads is limited, enabling durability to be imparted to the metallic gasket as a whole.
- Fig. 3 shows the construction of another embodiment of our gasket.
- the first and second plates 1-1 and 1-2 are designed to meet the following relation: t1 ⁇ t2 wherein t1 is the thickness of the first plate and t2 is the thickness of the second plate, whereby their spring constants are caused to differ further.
- t1 is the thickness of the first plate
- t2 is the thickness of the second plate
- Fig. 4 shows the construction of a further embodiment of our metallic gasket in accordance with this invention.
- the sectional view is similar to that shown in Fig. 1(a) with the exception that beads on the first and second plates are arched in the same direction.
- Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line B-B′ of Fig. 2 for an alternative embodiment.
- Fig. 6 is a sectional view as taken along the line C-C′ of Fig. 2.
- the B-B′ section receives low pressure because of being located between clamping bolts and in this embodiment does not have a joint at 9.
- the C-C′ section receives high pressure because of being located at clamping bolt positions and is provided with an auxiliary joint as shown between the beads and the clamping bolt hole.
- the section to receive high pressure can be preset at a spring constant lower than that of the section to receive low pressure (by making L1 > L2, and l1 > l2. It is understood that the height of the bead should not exceed 10% of the width of the bead.
